How to remove dried rubber in rear tire wells?
The last time I was at the track, I got a lot of rubber in the rear tire wells, I didn't get to clean it out for a few days.
When I went to clean it out, 80% of it dried to a very hard texture and it's impossible to get rid of it.
Do you guys have any tips or do i have to "scrape" it out very slowly?
This is the only spot on my car that is "dirty" I even wipe the underside down twice a year and it doesn't even get driven in rain or snow, can you say garage queen....
Thanks in advance for any tips,
Bill

It's tough.
What I do is scrape it off by hand... I just put on gloves and kinda use my hands as a scrub brush.
This actually works for me pretty easily... even after the rubber has been there for a month.
What still doesn't come off I used a hard-bristled nylon brush on, then go back over it by hand.
If it's really caked on, I drench it with water, or a combination of Zaino car wash and water, and let it set for a while, seems to help loosen it up a bit.
I wish I had a pressure washer, cuz I'm sure that would do the job too.
